Question

Which molecule has the highest surface tension 

### Molecular Structures for Questions 14-17 #### Molecule A - **Central Atom**: Silicon (Si) - **Bonds**: Forms single covalent bonds with four Fluorine (F) atoms. - **Lone Pairs**: Each Fluorine atom has three lone pairs of electrons. #### Molecule B - **Atoms**: Two Carbon (C) atoms, three Hydrogen (H) atoms bonded to the first Carbon, one Hydrogen and one Oxygen (O) atom bonded to the second Carbon. - **Bonds**: Single bonds connect the Hydrogen atoms to Carbon, and the second Carbon to Oxygen. - **Lone Pairs**: The Oxygen atom has two lone pairs of electrons. #### Molecule C - **Atoms**: Three Carbon (C) atoms, multiple Hydrogen (H) atoms, and two Oxygen (O) atoms. - **Bonds**: The first Carbon is bonded to three Hydrogen atoms. A double bond exists between the second Carbon and an Oxygen atom, while a single bond connects this Carbon to the third Carbon with two Hydrogen atoms. - **Lone Pairs**: The first Oxygen atom, involved in the double bond, has two lone pairs. The second Oxygen atom, connected via single bond, also has two lone pairs.
